COMMUNITY IMPACT MAPPING

​

In partnership with Mapseed, a community cartography company, we are developing a beautiful new tool to support geographic literacy in the classroom and stewardship actions in the community.  Go to Map: www.mywater.world

The Community Impact Mapping Project empowers student leaders, teacher leaders & community leaders to visualize, track & report improvements through a range of sustainable systems entry points. Here’s a few...: 

​

climate solutions, green building, transportation choices, water conservation, energy conservation, solar production, zero waste consumption patterns, food access, food waste reduction, & more... 

 

Digital map layers will be watershed-based to emphasize our indigenous relationship to local land and water resources. Students can build up community map stories using contour lines, hillshade, impervious surface area, streams and rivers, and even overlay aerial images from 1936 to study the impacts of urban growth. 

 

Stewardship reporting tools, featuring hundreds of impact project ideas, can be pinned to the map in the neighborhoods where students live & integrated into problem-based learning in science & social studies classrooms.  

 

Featured student impact projects and data-driven reports will be presented to community stakeholders on an annual basis by well-informed student Sustainability Ambassadors.
